Question
An inductor-coil carries a steady-state current of 2.0A when connected across an ideal battery of emf 4.0V. If its inductance is 1.0H, find the time constant of the circuit.

Answer

$\text{i}=2\text{A},\text{E}=4\text{V},\text{L}=1\text{H}$$\text{R}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{i}}=\frac{4}{2}=2$
$\text{i}=\frac{\text{L}}{\text{R}}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$

Just as precise measurements are necessary in science, it is equally important to be able to make rough estimates of quantities using rudimentary ideas and common observations. Think of ways by which you can estimate the following (where an estimate is difficult to obtain, try to get an upper bound on the quantity): The wind speed during a storm.
Answer the following questions:Time period of a particle in SHM depends on the force constant k and mass m of the particle: $\text{T}=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{\text{m}}{\text{k}}}.$ A simple pendulum executes SHM approximately. Why then is the time period of a pendulum independent of the mass of the pendulum?
